In fact, it's so powerful that when we left the unit on to test it we inadverently turned the bar into a meat locker.
Thanks,

Posts: 15I went here one of these days and found the place quite nice. It resembles a typical US bar, but not in a bad way. The added AC is dearly needed though, as we were sweating and it was not even a warm day.
The service on the bar was good, the fries very good and the burger itself okay.
The crowd is quite young (college age) and there were quite a few attractive girls, too. It got very full until around 11, when we left.

Posts: 132A Great Fucking Burger
Dropped by this afternoon to catch some NFL games and have a bite to eat. And I've got to say, that was a great fucking burger.
I get the feeling that before long this place will be pumping. Nice job so far, Jefe.

I'm buying an ac unit for my apartment this week. I had 2 15k units at my resto that I could have given you; they were new and they were Surreys. Stolen right off of my roof in December! I was going to put them in my pad but they were 3-phase.
Anyway, the 48 days in the hole is unbelievable! Fuck, it took X 4 years to re-open!
I was there last night at midnight and a street walker walked past and sat down with a couple of locals for a bit of champagne so I witnessed the FIRST HOOKER at X!
You must have used a Paraguayan Labor Force, payed well and planned things out carefully; guess you were there every day sort of like a Supervisor.
Would like to see it soon.
Thanks and Good Luck!

P. S. Got a job for me? PR Specialist!
You know me, I'd do it for free!

Posts: 3510That is exactly correct, and most Argies just don't get it, and I commend you. You'd think Argies would get it since the advent of refrigerated shipping was key to their success, but they don't.

Venues: 398The building has central A/C, with separate roof-top units for each floor, with the capacity sufficient to heat and cool the bar room full of customers.

Regarding the fire escape, the building is a "purpose-built" concrete structure, which means that it was originally designed and built to conform to all the fire codes, including 10 ft wide stairways to / from all floors. We also have smoke detectors in the kitchen and the bathrooms, and 6 fire extinguishers on each floor. The building has been inspected by the Fire Inspectors and we have passed all the requirements for the current use.
Nevertheless, in order to obtain a separate license to operate a live music venue on the 2nd floor, we will be installing a sophisticated central fire detection system with multiple smoke / fire detectors throughout the building, all connected to a central panel in the security office and to the local fire department, plus effecting additional physical modifications such as installing fire-proof ceiling tiles, etc.
Thanks,
Jackson

Venues: 398If you are young and handsome and your goal is to pickup college chicks, then either of the Alamo locations would be the place to go.

If you're FOBU and you're looking for Argentine girls who would be interested in your offers of commerce, then you'd be sorely disappointed and quite likely to be slapped in the face.
Thanks,

Posts: 15Since I don't know what the old place was. Any chica connection at all, or "just" a regular pub?

Did you install central air? Today is about 110 degrees! But feels like 122 !
Did they make you build a Fire Escape from the terrace so you can have Live Music, etc?
Thanks,
